Second wife tale?

I remarried three years ago and went from being a newly single woman to paying for maintenance of new husband's kid's and their mortgage on the home the kids live with their mother. Plus his half of our life. He lost his job a few months before we got married and was in any case, focused on his start-up.

The start-up has a lot of potential and he works really hard on it. He is the hardest working man i know. It is in a good place with good investors and potential clients. Still, potential not done. I am tiring of this life where i am the breadwinner and wonder for how long this will go on. Before a I moved to a new job about a year ago with a huge pay-rise I was eating into my savings and have halved it. I resent not being able to afford the life i want for me and us because of the expense for the kids.

How do deal with this?

I think he should get a solicitor and look at renegotiating the terms of the divorce.

My son's parental contribution at Uni is based on my income, since he lived with me. Our house was sold when he went to university.

Divorce agreements are not meant to last indefinitely.

I'm with those who think he and his ex are taking you for a mug. How nice that they are agreeing to screw you for slightly less money! He will take you to the cleaners if you divorce too.......
